The Challenge With Comparison Shopping
There are a multiple challenges when comparison shopping car insurance:
- Inertia – Most people don’t want to think about insurance, let alone shop for insurance.
- Being sold to – Many people are reluctant to engage in sales conversations, particularly for a product you don’t want to begin with. That can be intimidating.
- Confusion – Why does insurance need to be so hard to understand?
- Lack of options – While there are many insurance companies, most sales representatives only represent one. that means the shopper needs to talk to several different sales representatives.
We Solved All These Problems
ValChoice built a car insurance calculator. Now you can find a fair price from the comfort of your favorite chair, without talking to anyone. In the process of building the car insurance calculator we analyzed how many companies handle pricing. The results were shocking. We found that the exact same person, at the same address, same car, same driving record…everything identical, can pay more than 10x more with some companies than with others. On average, across several different scenarios, the price difference is 5x. That’s crazy.
This extreme difference in price is an indication of two things: 1) people are not shopping their insurance as often as they should and 2) they probably don’t understand what they’re buying. This greatly benefits the industry because they can overcharge a large number of customers, increasing their overall profitability, at your expense.
